FM8: Conditional text definitions not removed from book

2010-06-09 Thread Andersen, Verner Engell VEA

Hi

I have FM8. I  have removed some contional text definitions from all
files in the book. Still they seem to appear in the list when I select
View, Show hide conditional text..

I believe that I also remove the condition from all text insets in the
book.

Do you have any easy way of getting rid of unwanted condition tags?

Best regards,

Verner

Re: Page Numbering Format (# of ##) in an FM Book

2010-06-09 Thread Bernard Gagne

Jasmine,
The easiest way I found was to insert the $lastpagenum variable in the very 
last page of my book, and cross-reference it for all the other chapters.
It worked just fine.

Subject: Page Numbering Format (# of ##) in an FM Book

Hello Framers,



I need to setup page numbering formatted as Page # of ## in a book with 
several files. The Page Count variable (building block $lastpagenum), pulls 
the last page number of the current file, not the last page number in the book. 
So, it's correct in the last file of the book, but not the others.



Is there any way to set up a variable that will read the last page number in 
the book? Or, is there another way to accomplish this without setting it 
manually after I generate the final book? 



TIA!

FrameMaker 9 Help Topics Function

2010-06-09 Thread Rubin, Diana

Hi all,

FrameMaker 9, P250, Windows XP Pro, SP3, non-structured:

When I select Help -- Help Topics... or press the F1 key, the Adobe Help 
Viewer window with the help content does not appear.   It works fine for others 
in my group running the same version of Frame on the same platform.   Am I 
missing something in the Adobe FrameMaker 9 program files?  I can bring up the 
User Guide fine by selecting Help -- User Guide...

Short of re-installing FrameMaker 9 - which I do not want to do - can anyone 
point me to the Help file that seems to be missing from my program files?  Or, 
suggest what might be causing the Help Topics file to not appear?  I get no 
error message when I try to bring up the Help Topics file - just nothingness.

Thanks all.

Diana

Re: FM8: Conditional text definitions not removed from book

The conditions also might be hiding in a text-inset that is not actually 
included as a file in the book.
Also, after you removed all instances, did you update the book?  That seems to 
be when Frame cleans out a lot of its lists.

RE: Page Numbering Format (# of ##) in an FM Book

2010-06-09 Thread Graham, Jasmine S

Thank you to all who responded. I didn't think about using a cross-reference 
(DUH)!

BTW, I forgot to mention that I use structured Frame. Here's what I did:

 

EDD - Added new element: EndOfBook

Paragraph format: EndOfBook (2pts. White text). Explanatory Text appears in 
Cross-Ref dialog.

Cross Reference format: EndOfBook (building block $pagenum)

Insert unstructured cross-reference on master page (no need for a new X-REF 
element tag at this time).

 

I'm still tinkering with my remaining master pages, but I've gone far enough to 
test this and it works.

 

Marvelous!

Subject: Re: Page Numbering Format (# of ##) in an FM Book

 

Hi Jasmine

I have done this in a small book.  I used the following method to set up the 
Page # of ## in a book with several files.  It assumes you are using 
continuous page numbering throughout the book.

1.  On the last page of the last file in the book, insert a new paragraph 
and give it a new para format (eg LastPage).  In my book I have actually put 
some explanatory text in this para so I know what it is and set the colour to 
white so it doesn't show.  You may or may not wish to do this because this text 
will end up in the PDF and will be searchible even though it is invisible.
2.  Set up the page numbering in the footer of each file as Page # of 
[Xref].  # is the normal Current Page variable, and [Xref] is a cross 
reference to the LastPage paragraph.  Set the format of this cross reference to 
use the $pagenum building block and give the format a meaningful name.
3.  Import the new Xref format to all files.

When you update the book your page numbering will be updated to reflect the 
total number of pages in the book.  You do have to remember that the LastPage 
para is there and what it's for, though.  And remember to make sure it is 
always on the last page of the book.

Hope this helps

Dave

white so it doesn't show.  You may or may not wish to do this because this text 
will end up in the PDF and will be searchible even though it is invisible.
2.  Set up the page numbering in the footer of each file as "Page # of 
[Xref]".  # is the normal Current Page variable, and [Xref] is a cross 
reference to the LastPage paragraph.  Set the format of this cross reference to 
use the <$pagenum> building block and give the format a meaningful name.
3.  Import the new Xref format to all files.

When you update the book your page numbering will be updated to reflect the 
total number of pages in the book.  You do have to remember that the LastPage 
para is there and what it's for, though.  And remember to make sure it is 
always on the last page of the book.

Hope this helps

Hello Framers,



I need to setup page numbering formatted as "Page # of ##" in a book with 
several files. The Page Count variable (building block <$lastpagenum>), pulls 
the last page number of the current file, not the last page number in the book. 
So, it's correct in the last file of the book, but not the others.



Is there any way to set up a variable that will read the last page number in 
the book? Or, is there another way to accomplish this without setting it 
manually after I generate the final book? 



TIA!
